The ups guy was really kind today and brought almost all of the parts for my next adventure in homebrewing.

Plastic conical fermenters are a great option for brewers that want to all the advantages of a conical fermenter without the price tag of a full blown stainless steel unit. Conical fermenters have a cone shaped bottom with a valve at the point of the cone instead of the flat bottom of a bucket or carboy.

Achieve primary and secondary fermentation without transferring syphoning or a conical fermenter. I figured you were either using a weldless fitting or you threaded something into the plastic with plumbers tape. Solids collect in the cone and the valve makes for simple sanitary removal of trub and yeast for disposal or repitching. I ve looked into stainless conical fermenters and found some for around 300 which is a total steal.

Thanks for the heads up. No need to worry about scratching that with a sponge. 20 on this bundle 3 9 out of 5 stars 12 89 99 89. That being said i really like the whole diy thing.

It s more scratch resistant than other plastic fermenters and it s even dishwasher safe withstanding temperatures up to 230 f. All of our plastic conicals will enable you to dump trub and harvest yeast. I bought five of. Uh oh yuri s at it again.

That being said i have seen several versions of large plastic conical fermenters. Get yourself a pvc spray ball and a weldless firing for the lid. Then you can clean in place by circulating. I have an idea about adapting a cut off valve to 2 liter coke bottle on one end and a smaller 8oz mini water bottle on the other end.

Unlike the other fermenters we ve covered this one is made of tritan which is a medical grade bpa free polymer that combines the durability of glass and the convenience of plastic.
